Communities of Practice
The EAUC is committed our Members' ability to exchange ideas, skills and experience. To encourage more specialist learning and information sharing, we operate numerous Communities of Practice (CoP) that support focused and efficient networking among Members.
Topic Support Networks
EAUC Scotland facilitates Topic Support Networks (TSN), the Scottish equivalent of the Communities of Practice and open to all post-16 education institutions in Scotland. TSNs are groups which work on specific sustainability subjects that are relevant to Scottish higher and further education. Members of TSNs can be staff in further and higher education, the public sector, or non-profit organisations. Find out more here.
